Author's Note

Earth. A place where the citizens of The Ark escaped to before their home ran out of air. A place that started as a promise of freedom and a new chance. So they sent 100 children, deemed expendable, down to check for radiation with no supplies or help.

Deserae Throne was one of them, sent down to die with the rest. She wasn't privileged. She wasn't well known at first ether, until she met Bellamy. At first she believed he was dead set on annoying her to death. Now the roles have switched, he believes she is dead set on worrying him to death.

Now separated, these lovers are doing what they can to return to each other and save their friends from a seemingly inevitable death.
